Experience Server Solutions QuickStart provides some sample collateral and creates some sample users so that developers can directly start using the OOTB reference application and make use of samples to know about and learn the product capabilities, *but* It is highly recommended to remove these sample assets and sample users when the solution is deployed on to a production server.

I will take you through the steps to remove:

1) Sample assets from the system and

By uninstalling them from package manager

By Removing sample assets package from SQS

2) Sample users from the system

Removing sample users from CRX user administration

modifying a configuration file

Removing Sample assets & sample users from a production system:

There are two ways to remove the sample assets from the system one can follow any way that suits them.

Steps to remove sample assets and sample users from a running server:

1.a. Removing Sample assets by uninstalling them from package manager [Please do not start SQS as a publish instance till the step it is specified to do so]

Use the modified xml in template-correspondencemanagement-pkg-<version>.zip

Save changes to SQS jar

Re-open the SQS jar with zip utility and check that the changes to CMGroupsAndUsers.xml are properly saved

Now use this SQS jar to run author and publish instances , Sample assets and sample users will not be created after these changes

Note:

These steps are just to give an overview, Please do not follow them as is on any production server. Contact ADEP Engineering/Support/PS before you try these on a production system so that they can provide more and in-detail steps to achieve this, which best suits your deployment topology and any other specific needs.

With ADEP release running an Experience Server is as simple as double-clicking Solutions Quickstart

One needs to obtain a license file, copy license file and Solutions Quickstart to some folder and double-click Solutions Quickstart to get everything up and running *but* at times you may notice that Experience Server does not start [though it’s not a problem with Solutions Quickstart] on double-click.

Solutions Quickstart is a jar file and it doesn’t start on double-click if some other program has hijacked the jar file extension i.e when we install JRE on Windows system the file “jar” is correctly associated with javaw.exe and if any other program like a zip utility is installed that utility modifies the association of jar file and when you double click Solution Quickstart instead of starting Experience Server it just opens up the file or does nothing.

In order to fix this problem, I suggest four ways :

Right click on Solutions Quickstart jar file , In context sensitive menu Go to open with , Select Java(TM) Platform SE binary. If this option is not visible in context sensitive menu click Choose Program and Browse to <Java_Home>\jre\bin\javaw.exe , Select Java(TM) Platform SE binary in Open with dialog , Check “Always use selected program to open this kind of file”, Click OK

There are scores of jarfix utilities that are available on internet , You can use any such utility , One such utility is available here [Read terms & conditions , license agreement before using this utility or any such utility]

Re-install JRE

Any of the ways suggested above should fix the problem and you should be able to start Experience Server with just a click of a button.

Alternatively Solutions Quickstart can also be started from command prompt for more information on this refer to my earlier post [Installation section] on my blog
